At Annie's Place, Annie is desperate to find a prospective birth mother and
after talking to Father Antonio on the phone and telling him she just didn't
click with anyone. He told her someone new came into day, she's nineteen,
her name is Stephanie and he can send her over there in 20 minutes. Annie
tells Father Antonio that would be perfect and hangs up. She thinks to
herself that all she has to do is find out if Stephanie will go along with her
plan. Just then, Sean calls and told her he is on his way over. She asked him
why is he coming now? He told her she had stalled him long enough and if his
mom isn't Trey's birth-mother than Annie had better have proof. Annie covered
and told Sean that it's really a coincidence that he called, because she was
just about to call him and tell him all his questions are about to be
answered. Sean told her he only had one question for her. Annie told him he
would be able to find out what that is, because the birth-mother just called
and said she would be here in an hour, you can come over and meet her then.
Sean said he would be there. They hang up, Annie told herself to calm down,
she has only 15 minutes until Stephanie gets there, and for the right price
she would pretend to be the mother if she had to. Annie then went over to
herself just what it is she's going to say to Stephanie. There is a knock on
the door. Annie says great, she's hear. This is my last hope, a blond would be
nice but at this point I don't really care. Unfortunately when she opens the
door, Stephanie turns out to be African American. Annie says to herself, she
is a goner.

Over at The Royal Arms Apartment, Gregory is up to his old tricks again,
concerning Cole and Caitlin. He meets with the apartment manager and finds
out that Cole put down a deposit on the apartment he has for rent. Gregory
gives the apartment manager some money and ask him if they are in agreement.
The man told him it is just as they agreed, and Gregory told him he hopes so
and then hands the man the phone.........At Cole and Caitlin's, Cole is
looking for diapers so that Caitlin can change Trey. He told her they have
too much stuff in their apartment and he can't wait until they move. Just
then the phone rings, it is the apartment manager. Cole asks him if he was
calling to tell them their apartment is ready, but the manager told him he
called to tell him the apartment was no longer available. Cole asked what he
meant by that. The manager told him there was a mix up with the number of
apartments to be rented out and since Cole was the last person to fill out a
application, he was the sacrifice. Cole told him there is no where else
around renting in his price range. The apartment manager told him then he
shouldn't be living in Sunset Beach and hangs up. Caitlin asked if they had
lost their apartment? Cole told her it was taken. Caitlin asked him by whom?
Cole told her why don't you ask your father........Back at the apartment
building, the manager asks Gregory how did he do. Gregory told him perfect
and then leaves. Back at Cole and Caitlin's, Caitlin asked what her father
had to do with it. Cole said he did offer us to move in, do you think he would
give up? Caitlin told him Gregory wouldn't do that, at least I don't think he
would. Cole told her that he has done worse. Caitlin said she knew, but her
dad promised her that he has changed and she needs to believe that. Cole told
her okay, he'll give Gregory the benefit of the doubt, but told her he was
going to go over and talk to the apartment manager and find out what is really
going on and then leaves. Caitlin told herself, she is right but she has to
make sure.

At Ben and Meg's Place, Derek gives Meg some cock n' bull story about naming her
as his sole beneficiary when they are married and told her that she needs to
know how to get inside his accounts in case of an emergency. Meg told him
that none of that is important to her and after finding out about him already
building her a house (The Warehouse), she can't think of anything more that
she needs other than to have him put his arms around her. Derek told her
this is important and he wants to give her a run through so that if anything
ever happens to him, she'll know what to do. He then escort's her over to the
desk where the laptop is and told her to put his account number in. Meg does
so and Derek thinks to himself if Meg doesn't know the password, she is no
good to him anymore. On the other hand he thinks even if she does, there is
no use in keeping her and brother Ben alive any longer. Derek then instructs
Meg to put the password in, but before she can, there is someone pounding real
loud at the front door. Anxious, Derek told Meg to ignore it, but Meg tells
him that it might be important. Derek told her okay, he'll get the door and
she can sit there and concentrate on learning how to access his account.
Derek opens the door to find Eddie standing there. Derek told him not now
Eddie, but Eddie says yes now and lets himself in. Derek told him he knew
they had a few unresolved issues but it is not the time nor place. Meg walks
over and asked what he wanted. Eddie said the three of them have something
very important to discuss and it can't wait. Meg told him she can't speak for
Ben but she has no interest in what he has to say. Eddie told her it wasn't a
social chat, it was business. Meg asked what business did they have with him.
Eddie told her he is head security with the Liberty Corporation and he heard
that there was a break in at their place a few weeks ago and that documents
were stolen. Meg asked, him what business is that of his or the Liberty
Corporation. As Derek stands there looking agitated by the smirk on Eddie's
face, Eddie told her, who's to say that the papers weren't company secrets
and he wanted to check it out. Meg told him it wasn't necessary, but Eddie
told her for her own safety they should find out what the break in is all
about and who is behind it.

At The Richard's, Gregory returns home, but before he can get settled, Bette
arrives to find out why Olivia left town. Gregory told Bette he knew she was
always on Olivia's side. Bette told him she was on the side of both of them.
Gregory told her Olivia killed the two of them when she killed his son. Bette
asked him why does he constantly hurt and push away the one that loves him the
most. Gregory said his son was dead. Bette asked and you blame Olivia. He
asked her who should he blame. Bette told him no one was to blame. Gregory
told her his son was gone. Bette told him and now his wife is gone too.
Gregory said maybe it is for the best, think about it. At the very least we
know that Olivia was careless and at the worst, we know where she turns to
when life gets rough. Bette told Gregory that Olivia was not drinking.
Gregory asked Bette to explain why did Olivia go to the liquor store the same
day she gave birth. Bette told him maybe she went for him. Gregory told her
their conversation on Olivia was over. Before leaving, Bette told him she
thought he had changed. Gregory told her that God wouldn't let him change.
Bette told him there is no one to blame but himself. As he opens the door to
escort Bette out, Caitlin is there. She asked if she interrupted something.
Gregory told her that Bette was just leaving. Alone, Caitlin told her dad
they need to talk. He asked her if everything was alright. Caitlin said no,
they lost their apartment. Gregory plays dumb and ask her how. Caitlin told
him to just look her in the eye and tell her he didn't have anything to do
with it. Gregory pretends to be hurt by Caitlin's lack of faith in her dear
old dad. Meanwhile, Cole conducts his own investigation into the reason why
his family suddenly has no place to live. He enters the office of the
apartment just as he is on the phone with Gregory. As Caitlin is sitting next
to Gregory told him he really didn't think he would get away with breaking
his daughters lease that easily did you? The apartment manager says, but you,
and then turns around to see Cole standing there. The apartment manager tells
Gregory he didn't promise Mr. or Mrs. Deschanel anything, if you like you can
contact the legal department. Gregory said he sure will first thing in the
morning. They hang up. He then asks Caitlin if she and Cole signed a lease.
Caitlin said no, they filled out an application and made a deposit. He said
there might be nothing he can do. Gregory then asked his daughter if she
thought he had anything to do with it. Caitlin told him she had to get Trey
home, thanks for trying to help. Gregory told her he would do anything for
her. Once alone Gregory told the housekeeper to get turn one of the spare
rooms into a nursery for Trey.

Back at Annie's. Before Annie has a chance to act quickly on finding out that
Stephanie wouldn't work in her plans at all, Sean shows up pounding on the
door. Annie feeds the girl some story about having a jealous boyfriend who
would get crazy mad if he found out she was devoting her time to helping out
those less fortunate than her. She then asks Stephanie to hide out on the
terrace and opens the door for Sean. Sean asked her where the birth-mother
is. Annie told him she wasn't there yet. Sean told her that he heard her
talking to someone. Annie told him it was probably his imagination, but
Bette walks in with Stephanie and asks Annie who is she and what is she doing
twiddling her thumbs out on our terrace deck. Annie gets tongued-tied trying
to come up with a fast lie. She then told Bette she needs to be alone with
her friends and could she excuse them. Bette leaves, and Sean wants to know
just what is going on. Annie lies and told Sean that Stephanie is the birth-
mother's friend and she chickened out and sent Stephanie instead. Sean asks
Stephanie if this is true. The girl covers for Annie and then leaves. Sean
tells Annie he is gonna give her one more day and if she doesn't produce the
birth-mother he is going to Caitlin with his suspicions and leaves. Bette
comes back down stairs and told Annie that scheming and manipulating all day
takes a lot out of you doesn't it. She then told Annie its reminiscent of
Annie's father and it scares her. Annie ask Bette if she thinks all she does
is scheme and manipulate to get what she wants. Bette told her yes she does,
because she wants so desperately to be cared for and loved and thinks Gregory
is going to do it for you but he loves Olivia. She then told Annie that she
may be able to seduce Gregory, but she won't make him love her. Annie tells
her she is not in the mood for Bette's lectures right now. Bette asked her if
she remembered Sly Dunbar. Annie said yeah he was one of your husbands. Bette
tells her he is a casting director now and wants to put her in an awful "B"
movie. Annie told Bette that Bette loves acting. Bette told her not anymore,
the days when she pretended to be someone she's not are over and leaves. Annie
goes on Bette's last words "pretend to be someone your not" and says it's
perfect. I don't need a birth-mother to bring to Sean, I need someone to
pretend to be one, I need an actress.

Back at Meg and Ben's, Meg told Eddie that she he has no interest in what
happens to her and ask him again what is this all about? Eddie told her he
would be happy to explain if she gets him a glass of water first. Meg asked if
he was choking on all his lies? Derek told her to go ahead, he would watch
him. She left the room. Derek asked what he thought he was doing opening up to
Meg like that. Eddie said he thought it was time Meg knew what happened that
night. He did the job but didn't see a dime and that is going to change
tonight, he better pass over some major bucks or Meg is going to get an
earful. Derek manages to get rid of Eddie and told him that he will phone him
later on tonight. Eddie told him he had better or he will tell Meg
everything about the bogus break-in. Once he is gone, Derek tries to get Meg
to get back on the computer but Hank and Joan return. After some brief chit-
chat they retire upstairs for the evening. Meg told Derek she is also tired
and is going to bed. Derek comes down the stairs and makes a phone call to
Eddie. He said Meg was asleep, let's get it over with. Eddie said what do you
mean. Derek said he means that he will give him what he wants unaware that Meg
is on the stairs listening.

Casey runs into a wondering Meg at the beach and asks her what is going on
with her. Meg told Casey that Ben has been acting strange lately. When
Casey asks Meg if she wants to talk about it, Meg told him she didn't know if
she should talk about it. As the two stroll over to Surf Central Headquarters,
Meg finally decided to confide in Casey. She told him about Eddie coming
over last night and then about over hearing Ben agreeing to meet Eddie
somewhere tomorrow. Casey tries to convince Meg that maybe it's nothing and
maybe Ben has a surprise for her that Eddie knows about. Meg told him that
wouldn't make much since, because Ben hates Eddie. In order to give Meg a
little peace of mind, Casey offers to see what he can find out about the
situation between Ben and Eddie.

Meanwhile in some secluded place, Derek meets Eddie and gives him a briefcase
and told Eddie to look in it. Eddie told Derek it was about time, as he
greedily opened the briefcase to examine the money. After carefully looking
it over, Eddie told Ben/Derek there was only $5,000 dollars inside. Derek told
him that he didn't finish the whole job so he didn't get what he wanted. Eddie
told him that he wanted more money to keep quite about the break-in. Derek
pushed him up against a cement wall and said there are other ways besides
money to keep him quiet. Eddie pushes Ben off him and said what are you going
to do kill me, if so get in line. Eddie then told him he was a lousy gambler
and that is why he needed the money to pay his bookie back, but they may both
benefit from it, if Ben doesn't pay he will go tell Meg and his bookie will
kill him. If he gives him the money, Meg won't find out. Derek cuts him off
and told him or I could just kill you right now. Eddie told him he would
like to see him try. Eddie decides that the $5,000 is fine for now as a down
payment, but warns Ben/Derek that he'll want the rest of the money soon, paid
in full. As Eddie rides off on his motorcycle, Derek says to himself, too bad
Eddie won't be around long enough to share the other money with him.

a great looking kid and starts crying. Cole asked if she was ok. Annie said
she was fine, she just gets emotional around babies. Cole asked how they know
each other. Annie said she was her friend, unfortunately she needed to go.

to now. Ben just looked at him and said nothing. Derek hints to Ben that he
may just stay in Sunset Beach and take over his twin's identity on a permanent
basis. Ben told him that no one would ever believe he was him. Derek told
him that Meg did and that it wouldn't be long before everyone else did as
well. Ben told him it would never work and soon everyone would just learn to
hate him like they always have. Derek told him that they wouldn't be hating
him(Derek) they would be hating Ben. He then told Ben Mr. Ben Evans, meet
Mr. Ben Evans and starts laughing. Ben told him to give it up and he won't
be able to fool Meg for long. Derek told him oh yes he will because Meg will
just think that Ben has gone into his Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde mood again. He
laughs again and leaves Ben there is his misery.

rent. Casey also arrives and asked if anyone had seen Ben. Cole, Caitlin,

withdrawal from the Bank of Evans. Casey said not your lucky day. Eddie said
it would be and got up and left. Cole asked Caitlin if she thought Annie's
friend seemed weird. Caitlin told him some people get emotional over babies.

loves her unconditionally, but has a sad look on her face. Tyus asked her if
it bothered her that Michael loved her like that. She said of course not, she
does love him. Tyus' suspicions about the identity of the mystery patient are
confirmed when he catches a glimpse of the blisters on Vanessa's arm. Vanessa
finally admits to him that she is the mystery patient.

At Meg and Ben's, Casey drops by to tell Meg of his findings. Casey told Meg
that Eddie gambled $5000 and it sounded like he got the money from Ben but he
could have misunderstood, but the only way to find out is to ask Ben. Just
then, Derek arrives and says, ask Ben what? Meg told Casey she can handle
this, so Casey leaves them alone to talk. Derek asked what was going on? Meg
told him she didn't know and asked him to tell her.
